Topic: Did Cenedese sign his pieces?

[TxSilver]

I give two thumbs up to Design & Arts. Their auctions start at low prices, so one can get some real deals even with the cost of shipping. They are on my recommended seller list.

I bought a piece recently through Design and Arts...it would of been two but someone came in with a bid at the last minute and topped me at 2:30am Aussie time  :cry:...the shipping cost me more than the piece itself...LOL...but only took 3 days to get to OZ...some really great pieces on their...would definitely buy again...except when the exchange rates go back to 'normal'...

However...I was a bit annoyed that the auction started in US currency then converted to Euros at the end...which ended up costing me a little bit more...but definitely well worth it...

The contemporary pieces by Cenedese are normally signed (engraved). As in 99% of the glassorks the master glassmaker or (as in this case) the designer/manager/owner don't sign the glass , but they are engraved by one of the worker.
Instead the vintage pieces (the acquariums are great) were not signed.

Hi Alex or anyone that could help with a question about CENEDESE. As posted by CathyG  on June 22 of 2005, She shows in her first photo(of 3 posted), a cenedese ribbon cane decanter with a sticker that says "MVRANO Cenedese VETRI" It is silver & blue and sort of shaped as shield. Would any of you know what dates that sticker was used? Any help would be greatly appriciated, as I have a bowl with the identical colors and sticker as the pic that CathyG posted ( red & turquoise ribbon canne) that was our mothers, and wondering the approx. age of it.

It's really hard to tell from the label, especially Cenedese. They've kept to the same basic design for their label for quite a long time, 1950-1990, with minor variations. Some were simple design changes. They ran out labels and had some new ones designed. Some had to do with reorganization of the company, which happened six times accompanied by minor name changes, all using the central name Cenedese.

If you had a picture of the piece and the label it might be possible to give a guess as to date. In fact, I'd promise I will guess if you post some pictures. (I'll also tell you what chance I have of being right.)

I wish I could post my vase but due to my camera being crappy I would not be able to capture a good pic of the signature but here is a current piece I found on Ebay.

Hi Tam Bam:

Have you tried this tip here that I posted?  Some others have found great success with posting pics here for close-up.  Worth a try.

MODS: I know this post is in the cafe -- but as a reference tip -- I think maybe that link should be kept under techie tips as we have seen some Great shots by Paul S., myself, and others using this tip. 

I think it has really helped.  I think this is worth keeping (and not getting deleted) for future reference to help others.  I am glad I am able to input something to the board too. 

Thanks

Hi David! In my last post, I am referring to the MVRANO Cenedese VETRI sticker that is on the photo that CathyG showed that she posted on June 22nd,2005. the photo shows that sticker on a Cenedese ribbon canne decanter. What I was asking was as to what year that item she is showing was made, as i have the identical item. Thanks so much for any information or guess on that item she shows with that label. Diana

Whoops, I meant David or anyone that could identify the photo of the item that CathyG posted on june 22-2005 of a ribbon canne decanter with a sticker that says " MVRANO Cenedese VETRI". Hoping anyone out there would be have an idea when her decanter was made or when this label was used? Thank you ANYONE! Diana

I hope you don't mind a suggestion. If you're referring to another thread on the GMB, it's easier for others to find it if you post the url. For CathyG's piece you mention, it's http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v405/glass47/cenedesestickier.jpg

There's not enough detail in that picture to tell me more than the sticker tells me, 1950 onwards. I understood that you were asking about Cathy's piece and label , and were saying you had a piece the with the same colours. I still think it would be hard to do without a picture of the actual piece, either yours or CathyG's, and, even then, there might be two different dates. Cenedese made the designs at different times. Cathy's label looks brand new in 2005, which makes me suspect the decanter was made in late 80's 90's. But that doesn't tell you when your bowl was made.

Thanks so much for your time and thoughts David! That is a bit confusing for me that those stickers that say MVRANO Cenedese VETRI were used from 1950's till today, yet they are imposssible for me to find another with that sticker, and I do know my piece has to quite old, just not sure age or why this sticker seems so difficult for me find, especially since you said could be new. I am really new at this but will hopefully catch on better in time. I accidently ran onto CathyG's photo just trying find cenedese, (as I have a figure that I believe may be Cendese), and was so astounded when I saw her photo. I mailed photo's of my figure to Javier,(SVAZZO), as I had told him about my lady figure so lovely and have been looking for another like her for years and he said looks like a real quality piece, guessing perhps barovier or A.VE.M. but really no idea, as has never seen one like her either, so I just have very lovely mystery glass! I have searched on ebay, and pretty much any place you can think of for years, so guess she'll alway be a mystery.
